Base jumper falls to her death

By EMBUN MAJID

ALOR SETAR: A 42-year-old Australian base jumper fell to her death after her parachute failed to open during a training session at the Alor Setar Tower here. Tantikey Lie Marion’s parachute failed to open when she leapt from the 165m-high tower, which is the second tallest in the country, at about 4.15pm Tuesday. She died on the spot when she landed on the concrete ground, less than two metres from a zinc wall put up by the tower management for maintenance work. The tower has been closed for maintenance work since August.

 

Australian base jumper Tantikey Lie Marion plunged to her death while practicing base jumping at Menara Alor Setar in Alor Setar, Kedah. In the foreground is her parachute.Witness Mohd Zaidi Zainol Abidin, 41, said he saw Marion jumping off the tower and her parachute failing to open. "I was standing about 100m from the tower when she jumped. I saw her struggling to pull open the parachute but she failed," he said when met at the scene. It is learnt that Marion and 19 other local and international base jumpers arrived here Tuesday for a training session to prepare for the three-day KL Tower International Jump starting on Oct 7.

Brig Gen Datuk Suhaimi Mohd Zuki, Komandan, Inspeka

Updated 15th Dec 2016 ~ Promoted to Lt Gen.
Updated 14th Mar 2011 ~ Promoted to Maj Gen.

Was initially informed that 'Mon General' was actually a skot, confirmed by Kepten Abdul Razak Abdul Rahman, both OPs of the same batch, also by Col Razak Kamari ~ `To be exact I punya Komandan.'  A little bit on  his background, well written and extracted from the blog entry entitled '10 Briged Para - Pasukan Elit ATM' :

Begin Quote

Brig Jen Suhaimi adalah anak kelahiran Jerantut, Pahang, mendapat pendidikan awal di Kuala Lumpur dan merupakan bekas penuntut putera Maktab Tentera Diraja, Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur. Beliau mempunyai kelulusan Ijazah Sarjana dari Universiti Leicester, England dan Universiti New South Wales, Australia. Beliau sebelum ini pernah berkhidmat di beberapa negara luar termasuk sebagai pemerhati Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB) di Sahara Barat. Semasa bertugas di Sahara Barat, pergaulan Brig Jen Suhaimi dengan masyarakat setempat secara langsung membolehkan beliau belajar dan serba sedikit dapat bertutur bahasa Arab. Kebolehan beliau itu juga membolehkan Brig Jen Suhaimi menyelesaikan pertelagahan yang berlaku membabitkan puak-puak yang bersengketa. Ditanya dari segi penerjunan, beliau berkata: “Kita tidak boleh berbangga dengan jumlah penerjunan dilakukan. “Setiap anggota dan pegawai akan menganggap setiap kali penerjunan dilakukan, ia adalah yang pertama kali. “Sebab itu, setiap penerjunan perlu dilakukan secara berhati-hati dan penuh berdisiplin. Jika silap langkah, akan menerima padah. Lalai sesaat merana seumur hidup,” nasihat beliau. Antara pengalaman bertugas selain di Briged Para, beliau pernah bertugas sebagai pegawai staf di Kementerian Pertahanan (KEMENTAH); Juruarah di Maktab Turus Angkatan Tentera (MTAT); Pembantu Ketenteraan kepada Timbalan Menteri Pertahanan ketika itu, Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal dan Datuk Zainal Abidin Zin.

Satu lagi penghormatan yang ditugaskan kepada beliau sebelum menjadi Panglima 10 Briged Para ialah sebagai Penasihat Ketenteraan kepada Menteri Pertahanan yang juga Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. Jelas Brig Jen Suhaimi, dari aspek memperkasakan tahap profesional anggota-anggota Para, aktiviti yang diamalkan oleh 10 Briged Para ialah “Hari-Hari Belajar dan Hari-Hari Berlatih”. Setiap anggota dan pegawainya turut digalakkan supaya sentiasa membaca. “Melalui proses pembelajaran, hari ini seseorang itu menjadi pembaca, esok dia akan menjadi pemimpin,” ujar beliau.

Who belong to the poncho ?
Posted on January 7, 2010 by tuanzainal| Leave a comment

Remember Jebat Company collective punishment at Sebatang Karah? One poncho was “found” by Sergeant Hashim the martinet of Jebat Company.He assembled the entire company cadets and asked the question “who belong to the poncho” in English language. He sounded poncho with pooonchoou “who belong to the pooonchoou”. Many believed Sergeant Hashim deliberately picked one poncho from our Barrack and later claimed that he found the poncho as an easy excuse to punish the cadets and to teach the cadets the meaning of collective responsibility. Just a simple mistake like this we had a full day of punishment because no cadet admitted that he had lost the poncho.Sergeant Hashim was from the Recce Regiment and his trademark was brutality of the extreme kind.

We had to do extra parade without stop till midday on Sunday,pumped up, kissed the parade ground like lovers,performed various combat drills, ran many times to the beach and back in double quick time until many cadets dropped like flies from exhaustion. An old timer officer cadet in the name of Mohd Nor voluntarily admitted of losing the poncho to sacrifice for other cadets got himself punished for concocting a tale to save the other cadets. He was a cadet from the other rank in the infantry. He was manhandled by Sergeant Hashim and was brutally punished for attempting to do undue sacrifice for the undeserving cadets. We were all caught in a bind as no cadet had lost any poncho and telling a lie would be an offence by itself. We all had no choice and had to go through the complete punishment and ended up in holing our bodies in lubang beruang till past midnight. Lubang Beruang or Bear Hole was a swampy punishment site for any serious wrong committed by cadets.This unused water catchment was infested with millions of water creatures that would cause skin rashes and itchiness for weeks even after medical treatments.

This was our first taste of collective punishment.Till today I’m still wondering what actually the phrase means “who belong to the poncho?” Rarified English or plainly we were of lesser value than the poncho.I don’t know.Despite his brutality Sergeant Hashim was a very good instructor to transfrom us from a bunch of civilians to hardy soldiers ready to fight any time. My character was transformed and I hope it would last throughout my life, never to give up in fighting for justice for myself, for us and for the Malaysian Armed Forces.We need to be hardy soldiers as before to fight our case to it’s very end successfully and reasonably compensated.
